SOME EXPLODED THEORIES ABOUT ALCOHOL.
“No longer can alcohol be regarded as a food. It* supposed valuable effect in keeping out the cold has been exploded, its traditional use as a stimulant to mental and bodily effort has been shown to be a complete fallacy and a self-delusion. Statistical study has revealed it as the chief fomenter and the constant accompaniment of all the wor-t social evils, lis value to the healthy person is nil; on the contrary, it has peculiarly sever*' effects on certain tissues, particularly those of the brain, liver, and stomach. Alcohol should never be given in firstaid treatment. There is no single value attributable to al( ohol that is not obtainable in a more appropriate and efficient way. The highest physical fitness is possible only in the absence of alcohol.” —“Victorian Education Gazette,” August 22 , IQI4.
